Case Study: United States Conference of Catholic Bishops launches a digital Catholic app with EPAM Systems

Epam Builds & Launches Groundbreaking Usa Catholic Church App

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) worked with EPAM to address the challenge of digitally connecting its 16,000 U.S. parishes and 250 dioceses. They needed a sophisticated communications platform to distribute news, events, and Mass readings, and to specifically support the historic 2015 Papal visit to major U.S. cities.

EPAM designed and built the dynamic USA Catholic Church app, which provided extensive content, live streaming, and social integration. The solution was built on Drupal and integrated with platforms like Salesforce and Brightcove. The successful launch coincided with the Papal visit, digitally enriching the experience for users nationwide and receiving excellent feedback from both bishops and parishioners for helping them incorporate Catholic living into their daily routines.
